Because there's no weather there. The local meteorologist can put his seven-day on loop and nobody'd be the wiser.

I clicked the link wanting to find out about the storm, but they said haha this happens twice or so a year, nothing to see here. But they did say that 44 states still had white global colding on the ground somewhrre.

Came to say this. No real bad changes yet, but the knowledge of it makes me weep all the same.

I use them for the radar only cause the weather.gov radar pages don't let you zoom in, though they're not offering the dual-polarization products from the radar sites that are generating them.. Even Dr Masters' blog has turned into "OMG GLOBAL WARMING IS GOING TO KILL US ALL".

I'm still working on building my own display system and SMS alert package. I got an SMS warning for "severe thunderstorm warning" 30 minutes after the fact. Yeah, that's all kinds of useful.

College of DuPage's weather site is actually fairly good for sat/rad, though zoom is also an issue there. As for the SMS, it's still better than Environment Canada. More often than not, they'll issue warnings up to 90 minutes after a storm has passed. The only advantage of living downwind of Detroit is being able to rely on the NWS data and add about an hour to storm ETA.

They could do four hours per day of San Diego weather; "Yes, another perfect day." on a loop.

i know its been covered, but TWC owns wunderground. This headline implies they're quoting 'the competition' to seem like they know what they're talking about, hence the supposed humor. This is a subtard and modtard example if there ever was one.

I was wondering why their doppler map got super fancy and put on a bunch of irrelevant effects that slowed it down to a crawl.

Mid-easter here, and I follow Tri-State Weather and Columbia Furnace Group on Facebook. Pretty interesting seeing all the forecast models and what not that goes into weather reporting. I've learned more about weather prediction these past two months than I ever thought I'd need or want to.

Sounds like ESPN. 54 mins of SportsCenter on the NFL during the off season, 4 mins on NBA, 1.5 mins on MLB, and half a min on the NHL, during the Stanley Cup.

It's almost like focus on things where there is a lot of interest because more viewers gets them something. Something they really want, like more money or something.

you don't list in your profile where you live, but as delicately as I can say, WTF do you care what TWC says unless there is extreme wx in your neck of the woods? Follow you local weathermen. Screw TWC.

Oh yeah, the other reason I'm trying to get away from WU. WU is owned by TWC and TWC is partially owned by Bain Captial. Bain Capitol lines Mitt Romney's pockets.

Not bad ... 42 posts and only one moron equating climate and weather and one mentioning Al Gore.And, surprise surprise, they're both on the anti-science side of the fence.

Maybe those were attempts at sarcasm, albeit poor ones, sparky? Maybe they wanted to pull a troll such as yourself out of the politics tab to sh*t all over this thread with your sanctimonious, "I'm smarter and love the world more than you" posturing. Lighten up tough guy.

Funny that you will present as evidence of global warming..... extreme weather events.....wait, what?

that's just when they actually have weather on. i don't care about nor want to see the farking coasties in alaska or anywhere else. nor do i give a crap about an OTR trucker show on the freaking WEATHER channel. show the damn weather, have the local on the eights not some crap sidebar with no sound.
